Glorious!
Just ordered mine, should have it by Tuesday, I got the trans shell pink, super excited
Nice I love that one. Just didn’t think I could rock the color
Beautiful guitar, congrats! Just got my FM3, so I'll check out that Matchless preset of yours. Good timing. 🙂
Had to modify it a little and quickly did that, so it may need adjusting. That York matchless IR pack is great as well. Thank you so much for leaving a comment!
Beautiful guitar man. Happy Tuesday.
Thank you! Happy Tuesday to you as well. :-)
I bought the Paulownia Classic T same color. Mine weight in a 6.1 it has become my go to guitar. I have played it so much that the back of the neck is getting glossy. Sounds great, feels fantastic, the pickups are completely noiseless with great note definition.
Yep. Still love mine. I go between it and my Gretsch Duo.
Nice tones! Excellent review! Thanks
Welcome!
Beautiful guitar and excellent playing!
Thanks!
Damn! That sounds and looks amazing! This video makes me wish that I would’ve kept my custom Suhr Modern and given it more of a chance.
I love it. Still my main guitar
Just stumbled on your channel and I love it dude! Your tone is pristine in every video I've seen so far.
Thanks!! I’ve been absent for a while but hope to get back to creating more content soon. Thanks for leaving a comment.
@@GregSummersMusic oh I get it, took a break from my channel too. I'm excited to see the new videos when you get at it!
@@SloppyJoes_ShredShack thanks!
Stunning that.
Sounds great. That's my next guitar.
I want this as soon as it is in my room😍😍
Nice! Congrats on a beautiful new guitar. Nice growl.
Thanks Rick!
Sweet!
The guitar goes great with that matchless amp setting. really enjoyed your videos glad to see you’re making them again! ps it would be cool for you to post that amp setting on axe exchange ✌🏻it’s killer
Thanks for the comment! Happy to upload it, but the IR is a York audio matchless one so unless you have that matchless pack....and the plate and cloud verbs are from the Big Sky. You can easily add a medium plate and stratocumulus type to it though. I'll link it here shortly.
I went ahead and stripped the midi stuff and substituted a couple stock cabs but experiment as you want and if you have the york pack it's blend mix 1 on the video. Swapped the verb for a stock plate and cloud type. Tweak to taste. axechange.fractalaudio.com/detail.php?preset=8370
@@GregSummersMusic Awesome Greg I will jam on it and get back with you!
@@GregSummersMusic Had a chance yesterday to download your presets and cab IRs that you provided. They sounded very good my ears I tweaked a little bit for my PRS guitars I would definitely use them in a live setting. Thanks again for sharing them! Happy Holidays to you and your family!
Beautiful tone. 🔥👌
Thank you 🙌
Great demo, beautiful guitar and sound. I was looking for Suhr Classic T bridge pickup for my telecaster. Your video helped me decide. I love Dimarzio, Seymour Duncan and Bare Knuckle but i wanted to get something different this time. These sound amazing. From what i hear in your video they have a great bass and mids response with a bite. Seems perfect for that Billy Gibbons sound 🙂
Yep, I think that’s what Suhr was going for. Good luck!
@@GregSummersMusic Thanks, btw i guess these are not noiseless but they also seem to have less hum than a regular tele (from what i can hear in your video) how do they fare compared to a classic tele noise wise?
@@Mr.D34 they are voiced a little differently so they are less twangy. They are also Suhr’s version of noiseless (SSCII system) but so much better than the fender noiseless.
@@GregSummersMusic thanks a lot, much appreciated. you've been very helpful I will order this one and probably pare it with a Seymour Duncan in the neck to have something different. Cheers.
Have fun!
That's as light as my Ibanez SA!! . Best Regards
Good stuff.
it's a good gift
Good video 👏👏👍😎🙋♂️
Thank you!
Sounds great! How's the Classic T Paulownia held up? Hear it's a fairly soft wood. Assuming it dents easily?
Passed the smell test! 😜 Lovely tones, don’t be such a stranger Greg.
Yes it passed the test for sure....not as good as a fresh Martin with Rosewood though lol. Thanks for watching. Trying to get my mojo back for sure. ;-)
Hope you upload again soon. Miss you content. Exceptional player.
Thank you. Got a new guitar recently. Recorded a little but waiting on some lights to record the last piece. Hoping to upload it soon.
@@GregSummersMusic Awesome! What did you get? Or is it a surprise 😎
@@cshades8026 haha well I’ll tell you. Nobody will probably read this reply lol. It’s a new Gretsch Duo Jet.
@@GregSummersMusic That’s a very underrated guitar. Gretsch make outstanding instruments. Can’t wait to see you play it! Have you had any time with the Quad Cortex yet? If so any thoughts?
Thanks again Greg. Great vid. I am so curious to hear this in some chicken pickin mode. Brad Paisley has a crook with a Paulownia and it pretty spankin .
Thank you! Unfortunately I'm not very good at chicken pickin so I'm not sure how much help I'd be!
@@GregSummersMusic that’s cool. There’s bound to be a chicken picker to score one of these and share as you did. Thanks again have a Happy Thanksgiving
Same to you!
Nice video Greg, How would you compare this guitar to the American ultra telecaster in terms of quality, play ability, neck , and sound ! Thanks a lot!
To me it’s really in a league of it’s own. The neck on the ultra was just a bit on the thin side for me but it was still comfortable though. I never could quite get used to the noiseless pickups especially when you go back to a standard Tele pickup. The neck on this Suhr is my favorite profile anyway (I have another Suhr with the same). Build quality is exceptional as are most of the Suhr guitars. The sound on the classic t guitars are a bit fatter than a standard tele which makes it versatile for other stuff as well. The ultra was able to do some of that too. Don’t get me wrong, the ultra is a great guitar. Build quality was great on that as well. Had a couple things on the fretboard that were a little off (I think some lacquer transferred over from the neck finish but not a big deal).
Heard Paulownia is very soft and ding easily~ Guess that’s a good thing for natural relic’ing~
No idea. I know it’s similar to swamp ash but I’m not sure if that’s more of tonal thing or structural thing.
I don’t want to try to ding it to find out hahaha
@@GregSummersMusic ua-cam.com/video/DqG4yLDL17g/v-deo.html
Just got one of these~ You're right~ The neck is absolutely amazing~
Good to hear!
I have the Ultra Telecaster and I had just purchased a maple neck Silver Sky.. im curious how that even slim C feels??
Personally it’s my all time favorite. It’s a great balance between comfortable rhythm and lead playing. In between a regular C and that D on the ultra. The maple sky is way different in my opinion. Too thick for me. Feels similar to Suhr’s vintage C medium but I may be wrong since I haven’t compared side my side. Too chunky for me.
Hi Greg. If you only could chose ONE model of T-type guitar ( the desert island question), wich one would you chose?
That’s a tough one. I’d say it would be a custom Suhr with the same neck as this one, a heavier ash or alder body, and traditional tele pickups. The nash guitar T is nice as well. That probably doesn’t help you lol.
Hi Greg, just checked this out after your Fender Ultra video. This Suhr looks amazing!
What's the upper neck access like compared with the Ultra Tele? And if compared with a Fender Strat without a contoured heel?
Thanks for the great vids and help man!
I bought this Suhr specifically for the neck profile. I love their necks. Both the ultra and Suhr are comparable and comfortable in the upper access. The Suhr neck shape is more comfortable to me but that’s all preference. The normal classic t has a fatter neck that I’m not isn’t as comfortable for me so with this limited edition paulownia they offered the even C slim which is my favorite. It’s a very light guitar and personally I wouldn’t mind a little more weight to it but that’s just the characteristic of paulownia. As far as comparing to a strat without the contoured heel, they are similar. The Suhr doesn’t really have the contour either. There is a curved area in the body to better access the highest register, and the heel is angled just a tad so this can be considered kind of contoured but the new American professional 2 has more of a heel cutout. Truthfully, I rarely access the highest register and if I do, I don’t stay there long. Hope this helps.
@@GregSummersMusic that helps massively! Thank you for the detailed response. You've got me looking for Paulonia guitars now... a few hours ago I never knew they existed 😂
Mine is a little neck heavy due to the light body but my fender tele also has a similar issue...and so did the ultra. I guess the tele bodies just don’t have a lot of weight in general. If you are able to try a regular classic t with the regular even C neck it may be worth the time. Neck comfort for me is top priority. Pickups can be changed and other parts swapped but the neck is high on my list so it has to be comfortable. I do have a comparison video in the works between my fender and the Suhr. They do sound different so if you want that traditional high end spank, the classic t pickups aren’t really going to give you that but they are in the tele ballpark, but tend to be a little beefier which does give you sorbet options. Just all in what you are looking for. Like I said, pickups can always be swapped and I know Suhr has a set of traditional pickups if you are looking to match the regalia classic tele sound. I saw John Suhr mention that in the forum a while ago.
@@GregSummersMusic Again, thank you for the info. It's really appreciated and food for thought
Hey, how do you rate the SCII for hum reduction? Do you have issues with hum in that room with normal single coil type guitars?
The SCII is very good. I don’t have issues in this room and at one of the church locations I play, my tele with standard pickups is pretty noisy and the suhr is quiet. Yes for other guitars my room can be problematic for single coil guitar. Not crazy but it’s there.
Hi Greg, you never did a comparison between this one and your fender tele ultra. What are your thoughts?
Yea I sold the ultra before I had a chance to do the video. Neck profiles are different. The noiseless pickups on the ultra are pretty stale in my opinion. The ultra pickups are still noiseless but retain the warmth. Not as much spank on the Suhr but it’s still in the ballpark of tele tone. Love the neck shape on this Suhr. Overall I’m much happier personally.
i tried one of those today Greg ! awesome ! sounds great nice playing and tone . maybe we could support each others channel Im a guitar player too ! NIce blues there love the reverb/delay
Yes I am playing this one a lot. The neck is very smooth and perfect for me. Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment. I appreciate it ;-) take care
Hi Greg. Me again 🤣🤣🤣. What are your thoughts about the guitar after a year of playing It? It sounds amazing in this video. I have read some people complaining about nasty high harmonics. I do not hear any of them in this or others videos, have you notice them? Thanks very much!!!
Still love it and don’t have any of those issues you reference. May happen with certain setups but nothing with mine. Only minor complaint is the body could be a little heavier but I know that was part of the thing with paulownia but it is a little neck heavy which can be annoying.
Do a comparison video PLZ~~~
I have already recorded that video and it’s ready to edit. Just need to get off my butt and actually edit it. Hoping to get that up this week.
God like tones (that means killer)
Thanks!!
Isn't it neck heavy?
hello，i’m a player from china,i really like your video and i have a question,is it has a heavy body or just as heavy as a normal tele?
No sir. Super light…6 lbs. the Paulownia is known for being very light.
@@GregSummersMusic think you~
I’d like to have heard it played clean.
Yep planning on that soon. Thanks for leaving a comment.
Is it head diving (because of light body and heavy locking tuners)?
That would be my guess. It's workable though, and my both my fender american pro and ultra have the same issue, just not quite as noticeable. I don't have the ultra anymore but it had issues too.
@@GregSummersMusic I have Suhr alt T pro with Thornbuckers and its quite well balanced and sounds&plays great! I was thinking also about this model :singlecoil solid body paulownia with larger frets, but I have read in some forums that could be quite head heavy because of ultra light body which kinda turns me away :/
@@j.rozman7016 yea, personally I would like a heavier body for balance, but I chose this model because of the neck profile. Just don't see the classic T with even C Slim
@@GregSummersMusic What about Andy Wood model? did you try it? Cheers!
@@j.rozman7016 I don't have a dealer around here so I'm not able to try them out. Haven't messed with that one but this one is so light, and if I bought something else I would consider the overall weight to get a good feel for the balance, especially if the neck and tuners are the same as this one. The heavier model would most likely be the body which would help balance it. I just don't think there is much they can do about the balance issues when working with paulownia.
Anyone had issues on sound playing high neck?
not sure I understand your question fully.
Fender 62 custom vs suhr classic t better?
Haven’t played the 62 but traditionally the fender will have a more classic twang than a stock Suhr classic t. It’s all preference though. Not necessarily better.
I changed the bridge on mine to a Callaham. Can't stand those Wilkinson tele bridges, those darn locking screws are not comfy. I really wish suhr would make their own bridge. I love mine with the Callaham brass saddles.
'Murica
Does the headstock dive on these because of the weight?
I thought so at first but then once I put on the strap I normally use, everything was fine, especially with my wireless pack on. Sitting and playing it is very well balanced.
No interest in the MATEUS ASATO CLASSIC T?
Not a fan of gold hardware and the even c medium neck isn’t my preference. The price tag on signature models also isn’t my favorite lol. It does look nice overall though.
@@GregSummersMusic got it. I really like the aesthetics. I’m just wondering how everything other than cleans sound - that’s all I have seen of this guitar so I’m wondering if it has versatility like the T you have.
The classic T (or any other tele) in general is very versatile and so I would imagine this to be similar. For me personally if I was up for spending upwards of 4K on a guitar I would go through the suhr custom option and get exactly what I was looking for.
@@GregSummersMusic I def see where you’re coming from Greg. My only concern with that is this would be my first tele - I’ve never even played one before but I do play a lot of classic and blues based rock. I think I will start by trying a regular telecaster out and see if it’s in my wheelhouse and then look at a suhr custom if that’s the direction I want to go. Cheers
Honestly just find a good fit for what neck profile you like. The standard fender tele neck is different from the Suhr. It’s not bad but Suhr are known for their necks. Just a depends what shape you are most comfortable with. The even c slim is hands down my favorite profile but I’ve played other comfortable necks on standard fenders. For your first tele it depends on your budget as well. Also the classic t pickups tend to be on the beefier side. They are in the tele ballpark but I think they lean more on the blues and rock side because of that beefy character. That’s what John was really going after anyway. You can still twang but you can also pick it up and jam some ac/dc
Just wish their headstocks didn't look so crappy 😩 from afar they look like chinese fender knockoffs
I’ve heard others say they don’t like the headstock as well. I’m fairly picky as well but for some reason I like these head stocks and have no issues with them. Honestly though, there’s only so many shapes out there and at least this flows in the right direction. It’s similar in flow to Ibanez and people don’t seem to have issues with those. I guess it’s all in what you are used to seeing. Look at the fender tele one. I think it’s actually hideous lol...and I have one.
If ewe want to show off a guitar, DO NOT SMOTHER IT WITH CAVERNOUS EFFECTS!
Well, now we know who doesn’t watch videos all the way through …..”ewe” dont
That is a *nasty* sounding guitar
I hope that’s in a good way
@@GregSummersMusic
Absolutely… 🤣
Still my number 1 with my other Suhr classic S limited being a close 2nd. Just haven’t made a video on it yet.
@@GregSummersMusic
Mine goes between my custom Suhr Modern and a custom Suhr Classic T with Woodsheds. They both just sound so good for different reasons.
Nice!!!
